wounaInr Of stonennll Jackson.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: / must take
issue with Comrade G. y. Barrett's account of
the fall of Stonewall Jackson, and uphold Com
rade Nutter, of the lst Mass, as his regiment
was nearer the scene Of action, and mine was
next his Oh the right, on the picket-line. di-
rectly on tie plank road. The first challenge
to the party of horsemen was given by either a
member Of Co. of my regiment or of the right
company of the lst Mass. No answer being re-
ceiyed, three shots were fired by our men to
the left of my company (E), followed immedi-
ately by vOlley from the rebels on the other
side of the plank road and the artillery fusil-
lade. The reason the horsemen We're not sooner
challenged was they were supposed TO be our
own officers as the General (Reyere) command
ing the Excelsior Brigade and other officers
were known 20 be outside our picket-line. In
my opinion il is impossible 10 tell from whom
Stonewall received his wound, whether our
men or his own, as there was scarcely an inter
val between the first three shots and the VOL
ley; but am assured that the truest informa.
tion on the subject must come from either
the lst Mass or the 4th regiment Of the Excel
sior Brigade, which were right there.-WM. III.

THE 18th IND.
Experiences OF Some HOosicr Soldiers Before They
Had Cut Their Eye.:ecth.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The I4th Ind.
served in the Army Of the Potomac. Its frst
Colonel was Nathan Kimball, aud no Drawer
officer ever led a regiment The l4th Ind. was
made up inShcstem Indiana. and was organ
lied at Camp Niga, near Terre Haute, where
il drilled until June %, lS6l. Just before
we left Camp Nigo Gea. @. X. Steel, Of Rock
willie. made Co. A boys happy by giving each
member of that company $3.50. don't know
whether that money came out Of Gen. Steels
pocket or whether it was made up by the citi-
zens Of Rockville, but do know the boys got
the money. There were fully 5000 people TO
see the regiment leave for the war. After the
handshaking was over the train pulled out for
Indianapolis. We reached the Capital city
about o'clock p M, and marched mp Illinois
and Washington streets TO our camp just west
of the canal, which we named Camp Kimball.
Mr.. Editor, if yOu could have been i'm our
camp at indianapolis and heard how the boys
talked and how they wrote home, j know you
would have set us down as the greenest regi-
ment that ever left Indiana. j remember writ
ing TO my girl and telling her that was ~ In-
dianapOlis, s0miles from her. and before another
week ! might be in my grave at Richmond,
Va. We thought Richmond was the only
place we would find any rebels to fight, and we
were afraid they would all be whipped before
we got there.
We drilled at indianapolis until the 5th of
July, 1861. j remember one night the regi-
ment was called out about i o'clock by a false
alarm. u had been reported in camp all day
that Gov. Morton feared the State House would
be burned that night, and we were green
enough to he believe it. Our officers told us TO
/ be ready TO fall in al a moments notice. Sure
enough, about ] O'Clock that night the long
roll was beaten by Drum-Major Kemp. just
rs we were getting into line there came one OF
! the hardest rains ever saw. The officers were
excited. and Co. B got lost. aud was found POO
! yards from the regiment, off on our right hank.
! After standing in that rain an hour, Col. Kim
ball came along the line and said: "Boys !
only wanted 20 see how quick you could get
! into line You may go TO your tents!" The
18th Ind. was about 300 yards in our frontsand
was called out at the same time. j believe il
/ they had fired one round in the air that night
the l4th Ind. would have jumped into White

THE Cd AND 7th OHIO CAV.
Why They lad SO Few Men In the Fight at Buff
lngtOn Island.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: For the in
formation of Comrade J. G. Scruggs, Co. c, 2d
Tenn. / will quote paragraph from the his
tory of the 9TH Ohio Cav, which reads as fol-
lows:
On the 7lh day Of June. 1868, the regiment again
crossed the Cumberland River aud marched to
Monticello, where IL had some fighting. On the
9Th, when returning. the eth Ohio Cav. being the
rear guard. il was followed 10y the enemy and at
tackled at Nests farm. at which place severe fight
ensued in which the 9Th lost several in killed and
wounded.
will add that the Cd Ohio Cav. was with the
9TH ut the time. But before these regiments
started for Monticello there was an order issued
for IL officers To be selected, with $50 picked
men and horses, from the ID and 9Th Ohio Cav,
who joined Col. Sanders on his raid into East
Tennessee, and this detail was not with the
regiments at Vests, but started 10 join Sanders
before the return of the I'd and 9Th from Mon-
ticello.
Gen. A. V. Kautz in his article on the Nor
gan raid mentions the fact that Gen. Peeram
was on the south side Of the Cumberland River,
10 confront Gen. Carter, who was on the north
side, and that we would go over there and run
him (Pegram) away, but he would follow Us
back 10 his old position; and this was one Of the
times mentioned by Gen. kautZ. Gen. Pegram
seemed TO have the organ Of caution largely
developed. To drive Pegram away from our
800 or 400 men, made up from detachments
from the lst Ky. Cav, the 2d and 9Th Ohio Cav
aud the ll2th III. M'td Inf. Our habit was tc
80 up the river in the night, and at dayhreak
we would drop in between the rebels reserve
| picket and their main force and take them in
without firing a shot. Pegram finding his
picket gone, would Light out" and our de-
tachment would "whoop 'em up" for two oil
three days, and then they would follow US back
| 10 their old camp again.
The writer of this sketch was on this detail
three times during Gen. Carter's stay at Som
crset. Ky.
/ think it justice 10 the 2d and 9TH Ohio Cav
TO say that my friend, Gen. Kautz, should have
mentioned the fact that the II officers and 35l
men from these two regiments sent on the San
ders raid, had not rejoined their commands
when the I'd aud 9Th went in pursuit of Morgan
IL would have shown in part why they had 81
few men in the charge at Burlington Island

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.
serg't German Planted Ills Foot There First, II
Tie Didn't the Flag

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have lust
read Capt. Wilson's article in The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE renewing the controversy over the
Lookout Mountain affair; also appending order
for leave of absence on account of his heroism
in planting the Sth KY. flag on the point of
Lookout after the enemy had been absent some
two or three hours. Capt. Wilson and some
others forget that there were two approaches 10
the top of the mGuntain-one at the nose " or
point, and the other around where we were en-
camped, under the bluff at the spring, where
the rebels came down for water. At this point
a rude ladder Of two poles. about 30 feet in
length, with strips fastened on them for rounds,
was the means Of communication from the top
TO the spring.
Just as day began 10 break, and long before
the sun was up, while the darkness covered
the valley below, not having heard any shots
from above for some time some of us decided
10 attempt a passage up that ladder. Serg'i

up first, Serg't Guy second, and the undersign.

distance, some 40 or SO rods were some tent,

Losses OF the 18th n. Y.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: A number Of
comrades have given the losses sustained by
their regiments, the last being j. C. Harris, OF
the SD Pa, who gives its losses at 3ll killed
and died, 397 wounded; total, 705. As yet
have seen none that exceeded the 4Sth ". Y.
Our losses in four years service were: Killed
in action, 23G; wounded, 623; total lost in
action, 559 Add 10 these 40 died in rebel
prisons and Sc died in camp, and il brings our
losses up to 9S5. These figures arc not guess
work, but are taken from the files of the War
Department. L think We met with as heavy
loss in a single battle as any regiment with the
same number Of men. We went into the charge
upon Fort Wagner with Is officers and less
than 500 men; we lost ID officers killed and
wounded, So men killed, l73 wounded aud %
prisoners; total loss, PSI. At 0lustec. Fla. we
lost 2i7. We took part in the charge at Cold
HarbOr, and sent TO the rear more prisoners
than we had men in the regiment, but suffered
no such loss as we did at Wagner and 0lustee
The 4Sth took part in good many of Grants
and Buffers battles. 1t was in Pennypacker's
Brigade in the charge Oh Fort Fisher. and made
its last fight at Wlmington.-WM. REvILL, Co

The Atlanta Campaign.

Amos Wright, Co. z, 1O2d H., Humeston.
Iowa, says that Comrade COnnell, 105th ILL.,, is
in error in regard to the assault on the fort at
Resaca. The writer says the First Brigade was
ordered to make the assault, and the other bril-
gades were within easy supporting distance.
The brigade was formed in column by regiments,
as follows 10th Ind, 1O2d and 105th ILL.,, 10Th
Ohio and 10th Ill. The men unslung their
knapsacks before going into the charge and left
them with the guard.
W. II. Moore, Co. F, 30th Iowa, Medicine
Lodge. Kan, thinks it very likely that part
Of the Sixteenth Corps assisted in the recapturc
Of DeGresss battery at Atlanta. He says,
however, that the First Brigade, First Divis-
ion. Fifteenth Corps, to which the 30th Iowa
belonged, was most prominent in the affair.
Il. l.. Cooke, Co. X, 4th Iowa, Hopkins, Mo-,
SAYS it was his regiment and two or three
others, which he thinks were also from Iowa,
which recaptured DeCiress's battery at Atlanta.
They comprised the Second Brigade, First Di-
vision, Fifteenth Corps.
w. III. Gale, First Lieutenant, Co. a, 10th
Ohio, Kinsey, Kan, returns to the favorte
theme of DeGress's battery at Atlanta. He
dislikes to provoke further controversy, but he
says he cannot keep still after reading the COM
muncatiOn of Comrade Childress. He insists
that the battery was retaken by the First Bri-
gade First Division, Fifteenth Corps, which in
cIGded the 10th Ohio, S0th Iowa, 9th No., and
perhaps one or two others.
A. A. Schell, Buger, S5th Ind, Petersburg,
Colo, replying to the inquiry OF COmrade Will
hide, I'D Ind, says the S3th was one Of the In
diana regiments, and participated in the battle
OF Kenesaw Mountain. 1t was commanded by
Col John z. Beard.
Leonard Young, Co. F. S1st Ohio, Box IS
West Union, o., cOrroborates the statement Of
Comrade Heunis that the Second Brigade, Sec
ond Division, Sixteenth Corps, reeaptured De-
| Gress's battery at Atlanta.
W. J. Parrette, Co. /, 5lst Ohio, Lyndon, o..
| says that the 9th and 66th Ill. were not in the
charge that vas made to recspture DeGress's
battery at Atlanta.
#. l.. Mann, Co. B, 9th Ohio, Napoleon, o..
thinks Gen. Polk was killed bya shot from tho
| 1ith Ohio battery.
| l.. III. Vance, Co. 7, 9th Iowa. Third Brigade
| First Division, Fifteenth Corps, Racine Wis.
says it was the above brigade that recapturec
| DeGress's battery at Atlanta.
/ L. NJ. Young, 2013 North Irving Ave., Mime
/ apolis, Mimi, says that large number of tht
| comrades would be glad to hear from Gen. Il. N
Adams, who commanded the brigade Of the Six
teenth Corps that was brought by Gen. Logan
to recapture DeGress's battery at Atlanta, anC
which brigade he says did the work. HI
thinks justice should be done in this matter
aud he hopes Gen. Adams will tell the story.
A. G. Tiee, Co. E. 10Th Ohio, 110 Belle street

captured the fort at Resaca, consisted of tn,

Mobile.

J. B. King, Sergeant, Co. E, 9th Iowa, Vail,
Iowa, thinks the comrades are getting some
what befogged in trying to settle the cOntro-
versy over the fight at Fort Blakely. The
writer says that a part of the Sixteenth Corps
was at the time engaged at Spanish Fort, and
he knows that none of the Sixteenth Corps
took very active part in the siege and capture
of Fort Blakely. The writer was in Garrard's
Division, of A. J. Smiths Corps. His brigade
consisted of the 9th and 32d Iowa, 117th H.,
9th Minn. and 10th Kan. 1t was the Second
Brigade, Second Division, Sixteenth Corps.
John S. Page, Co. III, 9th Mimi, Kearny,
Neb says COmrade Biddleman, Co. B, SD
Ohio, in writing of the fight at Fort Blakeiy,
is correct as to the time of the charge. about
D. M" but made bad mistake when he said
that A. j. Smiths Sixteenth Corps took no
part in the fight. The writer was in Gilbert's
Brigade, of Garrard's Division, and he knows
that it charged the works and captured a large
number of prisoners. The writer was ON duty
that night guarding prisoners, being relieved
the next day by some dismounted cavalry.
Spanish Fort was taken by two divisions of the
Sixteenth Corps, and Fort Blakely by the COM
bined forces of the Thirteenth and Sixteenth
Corps.
Stephen o. Weston, Co. III, 9th Minn Iro-
quOis Oak, ,aOins many other correspondents
in correcting COmrade Biddleman in the state
ment that the Sixteenth Corps took no part in
the capture of Fort Blakely. The writer's ac-
count is substantially the same as given by
other comrades.

G.. N. Butterfeld, Sergeant, Co. K, 31st Me-,

hone was made by the Second Brigade, Second
Division, Ninth Corps, on the morning of April
2, 1860.
George Smith, Corporal, Battery 7, I'd Pa.
III. A., Philadelphia, Pa, replies to the inquiry
of Josiah Hissong, 53th Pa, who said that the
2d Pa. Art. charged Battery Johnson Sept. o,
1864, and that nearly the entire regiment was
recapturcd. The writer says that only four
companies of the regiment were engaged in the
charge with the 55th Pa, and they failed for
the same reason that it did-namely, want of
support. The enemy never had possession of
the colors of the % Pa. III. A.
L. Fritz, Milwaukee, Wis, correcting Com
rade Ferguson, Pearson's Zouaves says the First
Division of the Fifth Corps was not engaged at
Hatcher's Run on March 26, 1S65, but was en-
gagged that day at Dinwddie Courthouse on
March 80 at White Oak road, on the 30th at
Gravelly Run, where the writer was wounded.
b. M. Chappell, Co. A, ID Va. Cav, Clements,

sketch of the fight at Sailors Creek, but says
he is mistaken in the statement that they had
